DDTP Diabetes Surveillance Portland Area

The Portland Area Diabetes Surveillance Program under the Indian Health Service monitors diabetes prevalence and complications among American Indian and Alaska Native populations across its service region. It collects and analyzes data on incidence, outcomes, and related health complications to support clinical decision-making and preventive programming. Each grantee site receives customized Tribe-specific reports as well as aggregated summaries including the Health Status Report, the annual Portland Area Aggregate Report derived from the Diabetes Care and Outcomes Audit, and the Tribal Aggregate Report, ensuring data is both locally relevant and regionally comparable. The surveillance team conducts targeted site visits based on needs assessment results to strengthen data quality and program implementation. This initiative is structured as a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541611, intended exclusively for small businesses, and is forecasted for future award with the intention of enhancing chronic disease tracking in underserved communities. The program is managed by the Indian Health Service, with Boone Denny serving as the primary point of contact for program inquiries and Richard Dandasan as the contracting officer. Data generated through this effort directly informs public health strategies aimed at reducing diabetes-related morbidity and mortality among AI/AN populations within the Portland Area.
